Important things you might like to know if you're using the lab.

Rab's guide to scheme and emacs in the lab

1. GNOME: The first time you log in, type:
   
   gnome-on
   
   Then type: exit
   
   This will set it up to give you a more windows-like interface, since you probably haven't used a command line for normal tasks before. Log back in, and things will look less strange.
2. Before you print anything:
   
   Go to the fedora menu, and under 'Sytem->Preferences->More Preferences->Default Printer' select
   
   'dept-rns202', (the lab printer) You shouldn't have to do this again.
3. Having trouble with your disk quota?
   
   in a terminal, type: du -m | sort -n
   
   This will give you a list of all your files stored on the system, showing filesize in megabytes, and ending with the largest files. change the -m to a -k to output in kilobytes.
